Show notes: When I had the idea for this pod, the albums which immediately went through my mind were my favourites, which I had been asked about, by a friend, at the weekend. The list is as such:

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
Blur - 13.
Kate Bush - Never For Ever.
Radiohead - The Bends.
Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage.
Tori Amos - Under The Pink.
Pink Floyd - The Final Cut.
Mansun - Six.
Laura Nyro - New York Tendaberry.
The Specials - The Specials.

You may as well ask, "Well? Where is OK Computer?"

I was going to put it in, but my Top 10 favourite albums can be any one of 75 albums. OK Computer is definitely up there, but I went with The Bends, which I had played several days previously.

I loved the idea of OK Computer being 001 on the LP Lexicon Podcast, though. It is a truly exceptional album. If you don't know it, search it out, and enjoy it. Once you know it, play it with the podcast playing over it!

Here are the albums I have of OK Computer. The CD, I bought in 1997, the LP I bought and my friend told me off for paying too much for it in 2002/3, and the recent 3 disc remastered reissue.

Here is the image in the magazine that I thought was amazing, taken at the time, OK Computer was being recorded, it shows Radiohead in the studio. I can't really find it online:

And finally, Radiohead is one of my favourite bands. This isn't everything, but a lot of what I have by them:

Hopefully recording the next episode this weekend. It'll be a blast, and thanks for listening!
